The Complete Sunshine Daydream - 8/27/72 Old Renaissance Fairgrounds, Veneta, OR
On August 27, 1972, fresh off their now-legendary European tour, the Grateful Dead traveled to Veneta, OR and reunited with the Merry Pranksters for a common cause – to throw a benefit concert for the Kesey family’s Springfield Creamery. A stage was erected under the hot Oregon sun at the Olde Renaissance Fairgrounds, tickets were printed on the fronts of the Creamery’s yogurt labels, and the rest is history…
Not sure what you consider great shows Ronnie, but this one has great moments. Wonderful jams. Outside of Pigs years, this is top 5

I know I'm in the minority here, but I think this show is EXTREMELY OVERRATED. The only reason this show ranks so high is becasue of its "mainstream" releases (same with 5/8/77)
